Fireworks went off in Phoenix as one of the most exciting Super Bowls ended. Patrick Mahomes was the hero of the night for the Kansas City Chiefs. Lifting his second title, the QB put on an absolute clinic. He passed for three touchdowns in the 38-35 win. In addition, he also had the glory run, setting up the winning kick. Mahomes looked in sync even before the first kick as he chose to replicate a fellow great athlete.
The battle between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chiefs was one for the legends. Both QBs locked their heads in a back-and-forth. Eagles’ Jalen Hurts rushed to his touchdowns. On the other hand, Mahomes trusted his throws all night long. Moreover, despite a banged-up ankle, Bronze ran through the tough Philly defense to set up the field goal in the game’s dying seconds.
Despite the heavy deficit in the first half, Mahomes’ confidence never dipped. The generational quarterback seemed to be in the zone even before the night began. He marked his presence with a pre-game routine that saw fans compare him to Stephen Curry.

Patrick Mahomes tears up Super Bowl after Stephen Curry’s pre-game routine
The biggest night of the NFL had officially kicked off. Both sides were warming up for the show. The Chiefs were used to the big stage. Likewise, they were having fun before it was time to get serious. Before playing some of the best football of his life, Mahomes showed off his basketball magic. Notably, he imitated a dribble into a fadeaway with a teammate posing as the bucket. The shot was on target, just like him on the night.
Fans took notice and went gaga. Shockingly, despite Curry’s greatest shooter distinction, they were ready to bet on Patrick Mahomes. After watching his heroics on the biggest night, they might have been right.
I’m taking Patrick Mahms over Curry right now

The Chiefs were on the back foot after falling behind 24-14 in the first half. The Eagles were soaring to a convincing win. However, they didn’t know a 27-year-old QB was willing to do anything to not lose in the Super Bowl again. Herculean is probably an understatement for what Mahomes was able to deliver. Bronze threw for 182 yards connecting in the end zone thrice. Moreover, with the game all tied, he had arguably the biggest play of the night. The Adidas star pierced through the center to run on a hurt ankle. While luck favored the Chiefs with a late game call, it would amount to nothing without Patrick Mahomes. After watching the master go to work, even Stephen Curry took to Instagram to congratulate the now two-time Super Bowl champ.
